Parents/teachers can you tell me which of these books are best for which age group?

Can you help me categorize these toddler books as to the best target age. I know some can be for like 2-4, but what would be a good specific age, like 1, 2,3, or 4? Thanks

Curious George, H. A. ReyParents/teachers can you tell me which of these books are best for which age group?
Google each books reading level. Counting Kisses, for example, is listed baby/toddler.Parents/teachers can you tell me which of these books are best for which age group?
Why do you need to break it down further than a range. Remember that no two kids are exactly the same in level or interests.

For example, my daughter could recite Are you my Mother at 2 years 8 months but my son wasn't interested in that book until he was 3yrs 7 months. I was told the book was designed for the 3 to 4 year old.
